Observation of small Fermi pockets protected by clean CuO2 sheets of a high-Tc superconductor Doping Test

Observation of small Fermi pockets protected by clean CuO2 sheets of a high-Tc superconductor

An elusive pocketSuperconductivity in copper oxide materials emerges by doping a special kind of correlated state called the Mott insulator. However, studying what happens when a small concentration of charge carriers—holes or electrons—is added to a Mott insulator is experimentally challenging. It has been predicted that the so-called “Fermi pockets”…
